1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study presents a reflective and highly efficient multi-band metasurface polarization converter based on a forked-crossing patch array. Both simulation and experimental results reveal that such a metasurface achieves polarization conversion ratio (PCR) exceeding 90% over five frequency bands of 4.71-5.44 GHz, 7.26-9.55 GHz, 11.62-12.6 GHz, 13.33-13.46 GHz, and 15.61-15.62 GHz with high conversion efficiency realized at five distinct resonances. The quality-factor (Q-factor) analysis of each band reveals a hybrid behavior. More specifically, the first and second bands exhibit relatively low Q factors of approximately 6.95 and 3.67, indicating wideband polarization conversion capability. The third band has a moderate Q factor of 12.35, while the fourth and fifth bands show high-Q resonances with Q factors of 103.04 and 1561.5, respectively, indicating sharp and selective frequency responses. This combination of wideband and high-Q narrowband responses makes the proposed design especially suitable for complex electromagnetic scenarios, such as multifunctional radar, communication, and sensing systems, where both broad frequency coverage and precise spectral control are simultaneously required.
